DOI : 10.14456/pnuhuso.2025.26
This research aimed to 1) examine the current conditions and essential needs for developing a creative decision-making model for school administrators and 2) design and evaluate the quality of the proposed model. A mixed-methods research design was employed using a multiphase. Phase 1 involved qualitative research through in-depth interviews with six school administrators to explore current decision-making practices and contextual factors. Phase 2 utilized quantitative research to assess the essential needs for model development, using data collected from to the entire population of 75 school administrators. The data were analyzed using the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNImodifie). Phase 3 involved evaluating the effectiveness of the developed model combined with expert group discussions, to validate and confirm the findings.
The result revealed that the creative decision-making model (PICRID Model) consists of six processes (1) Problem Identification, using the Fishbone Diagram, based on the Creative Problem-Solving Theory (2) Identifying and Gathering Information, using the Affinity Diagram, grounded in the Rational Decision-Making Model (3) Creative and Idea Generation, employing the SCAMPER technique, based on the Creative Thinking Theory; (4) Risk-Analysis Decision Selection, using the Risk Matrix, aligned with the Risk Management Theory (Garrick, 1981); (5) Implementation, using the PDCA Cycle, reflecting the Continuous Improvement Theory; and (6) Decision-Making Evaluation, using SWOT Analysis, based on the Strategic Planning Theory. A key strength of the model is its integration of systematic decision-making steps with innovative thinking concepts, significantly enhancing the creative decision-making process.
